Richard Harris versus Angela’s Ashes. ”There’s not a line of poetry in the book and we Irish love words!”

<p>This is the third and last, for now, reading of one of the articles that were published to coincide with the publication of my new book, Richard Harris: Raising Hell and Reaching for Heaven. This book extract appeared in the Limerick Leader and tells of Harris's hatred for Frank McCourt's misery memoir Angela's Ashes. It also tells of how enraged he was when folks said that the Harris's as part of the Limerick elite looked down on the 'peasants' dying en masse from poverty and starvation. </p> <p> </p>
